Enhancements to Google News for Android tablets and iPads
Tuesday, August 9, 2011
Posted by Arun Prasath, Tech Lead, Mobile Google News
Alongside working on improving the Google News
design for smartphones
, we have also been looking into enhancing our offering for tablet devices. Today, we are launching a few minor enhancements to Google News for Android tablets and iPads.
We have optimized columns in the home page and section pages so that they can be more easily viewed in portrait and landscape orientations. Some of the other updates include: a conveniently placed menu on the top for navigating across sections, support of finger swiping through the multimedia strip in expanded story boxes and a more friendly edition picker.
These improvements are now available in the U.S. edition. To view these changes, just type
news.google.com
on the browser of your favorite tablet.
